Hydrothermal Synthesis of Precious-Metal Oxides : New Chemistry and New Materials

Orateur : Professor Richard I. WALTON (University of Warwick, Coventry – UK)

The use of solvothermal synthesis has been well developed over the past few decades for the preparation of oxide phases, particularly when water is used as solvent. By using mild solution-mediated crystallisation, control of crystal form may be possible to form crystallites with nanoscale dimensions : this provides a means of controlling materials’ properties beyond the crystal chemistry. There is therefore much scope for developing solvothermal synthesis for discovery of new functional materials with interesting physical properties, and in this presentation I will describe some novel approaches to preparing mixed-oxides using hydrothermal chemistry.......
